Cash (Ca$h) (Ca$h)

EVERY CON HAS ITS PIGEON...

The Russians know how to treat a guy.

I'm there five minutes and a girl knocks on the door.

And not just any girl, a total hottie...

- Good morning, ladies. - We're closed.

I should hope so. I don't plan on coming back.

What are you doing?

What do you mean? I'm doing my job.

You received notification.

New safety standards. Sub-section 1143, Public Hygiene Act.

I won't be long.

Maybe you'd like to do some shopping. It's insecticide.

Yup, it's not lavender.

If we step outside, you won't tell anyone.

I give you my word.

Come in!

- Solal Méricourt? - That's right.

We have an appointment.

Henri Lardier, transactions supervisor.

Take a seat.

It's a short-term operation on the currency markets.

No names. Discretion guaranteed.

We gotta move fast, before the Nikkei opens in Tokyo.

I'll need to secure the funds in a separate account.

- It's for you. - For me?

I thought we had an appointment.

Don't take it like that.

No, I think...

There's been a misunderstanding.

I have to go. Let's have lunch, the three of us.

- You're not hungry. - I am. My belly's rumbling.

A FEW MONTHS EARLIER

I'm sorry.

Why do you always win?

Because it's for money.

She's come out again!

Quiet, you'll give me away.

Will you introduce me?

She doesn't like losers.

Hello, I'd like heaps of roses.

Heaps of roses? Well, make your choice.

- I have some very nice ones inside. - Perfect.

Can you maybe to layer it a bit?

- And keep it long at the same time? - Sure. I can do that.

Actually,

I prefer white roses.

- How many would you like? - Well...

All of them.

I LOVE YOU

- Can I take that? - Yes, please.

- I'm not late yet. - You were born late.

What are you up to? The three of us have been waiting an hour.

You have the money? Have you got the notes?

- I had them, but... - Shit! Holy shit!

- Chill. Are you getting old or what? - Sure, and you don't grow up.

Don't worry, I'll stock up.

When are you getting here? 15, 30 minutes?

- Tell Lea to expect a call. - You're a pain in the ass!

Thanks.

No problem.

I'm sorry. Are you OK?

Open up, my wallet's been stolen! Wait.

Hello, I need to cancel my cards.

Mine's gone too! Don't leave till I find my wallet.

Frank Moreau...

18 34.

Yes. With immediate effect?

Thank you very much.

You want the number?

Thanks.

Credit Card Customer Service...

Yes, sir.

Lost or stolen?

What kind of card was it, sir?

Hold the line, I'll transfer you.

Your client.

Good morning, sir. Your name, please?

Rouxel... Just a moment while I enter your details.

I need your PIN to verify you're the cardholder.

22 37...

It's being processed.

Mr Rouxel, your card has been cancelled.

My pleasure. Have a good day, sir.

Just to check.

Engraving, colours, printing, all in-house.

Champagne!

The name of your engraver?

She designs, he prints. Father and daughter.

We keep it in the family.

Sound?

I know what he's saying. He's reassuring them.

They're scared he'll switch the plates.

Here he comes.

It's money-time.

The buyer thinks he's won. He just has to check the quality.

The banknotes.

François!

How much longer?

We're done.

The best you'll ever lay eyes on!

Don't overdo it.

The notes!

Never lose sight of the cash.

Never!

What the hell!

- I told you not to touch it! - It's OK. Look.

It's full of gunk now!

Tell them to calm down.

Nobody could tell these are fakes,

not even the Bank of France.

- Go on, count it. - I trust you.

Congratulations. I've never seen such quality.

Me neither.

Watch the envelope.

His accomplices create a diversion and he switches the envelopes.

Hardly surprising the detector passed the notes.

He gave them real notes.

Fake fake notes!

- Am I interrupting? - Never.

What's up?

A new face.

I'm giving him some space for now.

Two cards for Mr Kruger.

- Two cards. - Two.

- Two. - Here you go.

Two cards.

I'll raise you 5,000.

Five...

plus... ten.

- I fold. - Count me out.

I'm curious...

- I fold. - I fold.

Three kings.

Well played.

I'm always for taking a sucker down, but money has to be the only motive.

The golden rule is keep your emotions out,

have no connection to the pigeon.

Leave vendettas to the Mafia.

You think we're headed for a fall?

There's still time to call it off.

See you next time.

He take the bait?

Our friend enjoyed his evening. He wants another game before he leaves.

- Where's he staying? - The Belvedere in Monaco.

It won't bring him back.

Who?

Your brother.

Nor will that.

I'm too old to be told what to do.

Forget it.

Lardier's in jail. The cops'll find his stash of currency paper.

That calls for a drink!

- Can I get you something? - Yes.

We make a good team.

If you're recruiting, remember me. People are fond of old fossils.

Getting anywhere?

At my age, I have to keep my fingers agile.

Two sweaters a month or else I lose the feeling in them.

I have something for you guys.

An insurance broker. The perfect pigeon for a scam.

It's now or never. He's only in town one night.

- Sorry, I'm busy. - Something big?

Even better!

Champagne?

Daddy always says life's too short to be only half-lived.

That's very good. He's a wise man.

- I can't wait to meet him. - Really?

- Are you free tomorrow? - Why?

He's holding a lunch party. It'd be a chance to meet.

- Sadly, I'm having lunch with a client. - No problem, bring him along.

Pretty please.

I'll see what I can do.

Is this a regular Tuesday or are we celebrating something?

It's Tuesday?

Maybe I should blindfold him.

Why?

Before I kiss you.

I told them not to hook up to the gallery's security system.

It's totally amateur. Look at this!

You sure he doesn't suspect? He's doing a great job of jamming us.

- My source said the pigeon'll be here. - He may interrupt something.

The picture's back.

He's got something special.

- What's going on? - The Gypsy king's got the axe.

- Sure you won't need me? - Positive.

You make very pretty couple.

I've been married 30 years. It's a wonderful adventure.

The Gypsy remind you of someone?

This may sound odd, but it's like we're being tricked.

I can't help wondering if all these lights are there to show us something...

- You know? - Yeah.

Or are they to blind us?

- Interesting, isn't it? - Sure.

Will you marry me?

- Sorry? - Will you marry me?

No one else is coming.

She's the pigeon.

- Where are they at? - Breakfast. You said you'd be here at 7am.

Sit tight. My informer said they're planning a huge job.

I'll be right there.
